Exfoliation

Not delivered
What the product description says
“Enriched with resurfacing Glycolic Acid and Perlite (a natural mineral scrub and gentle exfoliator), the cleanser creates a fluffy foam that effectively dissolves dead skin and impurities, including pollution, oiliness and blemish-causing debris.”
Source: Lookfantastic US

This product does not contain effective exfoliating ingredients. It might be able to deliver physical exfoliation, that is scrub off some of the dead cells on the surface of the skin. We do not recommend physical exfoliation, because it is not uniform (some bits of skin can get exfoliated too much while others not at all). It can also traumatize the skin and aggrevate acne and other skin conditions.
